Volumes one and two. Both volumes are missing the front board. Marbled and black boards with gilt lettering on the spine, are heavily discoloured. Covers are well thumbed and rubbed, with some small swathes of white rubbing. Head and tail of spine bumped, corners smooth and bear some heavy wear and tear. Front and back edge of spine, bears some heavy wear and tear, exposing the binding. Free endpapers and pastedowns well rubbed and discoloured. Volume two bears a previous owner's inscription upon the front free endpaper. Page edges are heavily thumbed and discoloured. Both volumes bear discolouration on all pages by what seems to be moisture/water damage. The first volume is effected more so ( see images). This takes the form of a water mark along the tail edges and some on the foreedge. Title pages and other endpapers bear moderate discolouration and light foxing. Most pages throughout are discoloured either to a great lesser degree. Binding is tidy, except for the mysterious removal of both front covers. This book is in fair condition. *We always describe the faults of our books meticulously; they usually present better than they sound. This book weighs over 1kg and will attract extra postage to destinations outside of Australia. Please contact bookseller for postage quote.…
